A serious crash on the M25 caused major delays, trapping drivers for hours as emergency services responded to the scene in Essex
London: Long queues are forming in northeast London after a serious crash on the M25. It’s been a real mess out there, with drivers stuck for hours.
The motorway was closed for over four hours on Monday due to the accident between Junction 28 and Junction 27. Can you imagine being stuck in that traffic?
National Highways reported that there were about seven miles of congestion. Drivers were just sitting there, waiting to get moving again.
Emergency services, including an air ambulance, rushed to the scene. The crash happened around 11 am, and it really caused chaos.
Nearby roads were also affected, with delays on the M11 southbound. Some folks were taking an hour longer than usual to get where they needed to go.
Essex Police said they were on the scene and warned that the disruption would last for several hours. They advised everyone to avoid the area if possible.
By 3:30 pm, the National Highways website confirmed the M25 was still closed in the anti-clockwise direction. They were working hard to manage the traffic and get things moving again.
Traffic was finally being released past the scene, but it was still a long wait for many. The delays were just piling up, making it a frustrating day for drivers.
